Hexbug and Battle bots unboxing and review
Did you guys know that it is currently National Robotics Week? It started on April 6th and is currently going
strong as you are reading this. That being said, knowing the importance of robotics in this day and age is not only important, but, honestly, should be a given right.
Starting off children in the early stages of robotics helps ensure that the future is not only bright but it helps
them in their current stages of education. HEXBUG is a global leader in the technology, robotics and STEM education industries. Their products spark imaginations by providing children with a positive experience with robotic toys at a young age. HEXBUG along with VEX Robotics encourages children to explore STEM through interactive play and hands-on exploration by integrating elements of STEM technology in fun and exciting products.
Why does HEXBUG help? The short answer is because it’s not just educational, but it is a lot of fun working with this simple yet well made robots. According to Loup Ventures research, the industrial robotics market is expected to grow by 175% over the next decade. Technology plays such a crucial role in our day-to-day lives so it’s natural that we have National Robotics Week to celebrate and continue to encourage the development of robotics technology. Robotics Week aims to spread awareness about how robotics technology impacts our daily lives and to encourage young people to take interest in and pursue future careers in STEM.
We had the pleasure of reviewing and testing out a few of the current HEXBUG toys plus their tie-in with Battle Bots.

Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale
Written by Lauren Myracle and Illustrated by Isaac Goodhart
On sale everywhere books are sold on May 7, 2019
MSRP: $16.99
When 15-year-old Selina Kyle, the girl who will grow up to be Catwoman, becomes homeless, she must confront questions of who she is and who she will become.
Selina rejects human cruelty, but sometimes it seems as though brute force is the only way to win. And if Selina is going to survive on the streets, she’ll have to learn to be tough. Can she find her humanity and reconcile toughness with her desire for community…and love?
From Lauren Myracle, the New York Times bestselling author of books likettfn and ttyl, comes a new graphic novel that tells the story of a teenage Catwoman as she struggles to find her own identity while living on the streets of Gotham City.
Quote from Lauren Myracle:
“I have not had this much fun working on a project in ages. Isaac is phenomenal. Seeing him bring fifteen-year-old Selina Kyle to life was mind-blowing. She’s such a vulnerable lost soul; her story is equal parts coming-of-age angst and bad guy ass-kicking. And I got to write a for-real villain, with hollow eyes and creepy teeth and everything. Living the dream!”
Quote from Isaac Goodhart:
“Working on this project was better than I imagined a career in comics could be! My introduction to Gotham City was watching Batman: The Animated Series as a kid. I’m thrilled to think that Under the Moon might be the first story for a new generation of Catwoman readers! Working with Lauren was one of the most fulfilling creative experiences of my life. Hopefully this isn’t the last you’ll see from us! The opportunity to add to Gotham and DC lore was (and still is) mind-boggling! Expect a lot of Easter eggs and references to Catwoman history hidden in my panels.”
